Spy versus Spy
Used to be the CIA spied on the KGB, and vice versa. In the post Cold War world, the black and white hats appear to have been passed to Microsoft and Google.
It appears Microsoft Virtual Earth captured a picture of a super-secret stealth propeller design (see alongside — publish and be damned, I say) on an American Ohio-class ballistic missile submarine in the graving dock at the naval base at Bangor, Washington. A couple of months ago, Google Earth took a snap of what appeared to be China’s new nuclear submarine, so the Chinese won’t be feeling so stupid anymore.
Monster Maritime has more details, including a picture of how the Navy normally keep its secret prop under wraps. The comments section contains some more interesting places curious spies might want to check out.
